Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Cranberries & Bacon

Today I have a yummy side for your holiday dinner table: Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Cranberries and Bacon! Even people who aren’t fans of Brussel Sprouts will enjoy this recipe.

The Brussel Sprouts are oven-roasted in a flavourful cinnamon and olive oil mixture. While they are baking, the sauce can be made so everything is ready to serve at the same time.

The sauce has a slightly sweet undertone thanks to the addition of cranberries and a bit of sugar. It tastes wonderful when mixed with the Brussel Sprouts. The bacon goes on top at the end. Everything thing tastes better when you add bacon, in my opinion!

When I served this to my family, I ended up eating more than my fair share. I couldn’t stop though! It was so good! I hope you’ll give this recipe a try and let me know what you thought!
